There are areas in Klosterneuburg that almost seem like from another time. Wide, quiet streets, large gardens, old trees – and in between, the villas, each with its own personality, each with a story.
The Josef Schöffel-Gasse belongs exactly to these streets. Here, you live in the most stylish quarter of Klosterneuburg, surrounded by old, elegant houses that date back to a time when architecture was not only functional but also a bit proud of itself.
And right in this environment stands it: this small, incredibly charming villa, over 100 years old and yet not a bit quiet. From the outside, it’s almost a bit playful – with its distinctive roof shape, as if it had rollers in its hair. The classic wooden windows and that friendly nonchalance with which it fits into the row of old villas. A house that makes you linger with your gaze.
Inside, the real surprise awaits. The villa has been completely renovated, but without taking away its soul. The old elements were allowed to remain – high rooms, venerable herringbone parquet, classic room proportions – but everything now functions so pleasantly modern that you immediately feel at home.
You enter, hang up your coat, and on the left, the living salon opens with its classic bay window. One of those rooms that automatically have a certain dignity.
There is also the old piano with candelabra. You are actually allowed to use it – or just enjoy it as a charming detail. It certainly fits perfectly into this room. The tiled stove next to it not only looks good, but also works. And when it’s winter outside, you suddenly understand why such stoves used to be the heart of a house.
Right next to it, another room, probably once the library, today the classic home office.
If you continue towards the garden, the atmosphere changes a bit and becomes very modern. Here, the house was extended, and this part almost looks like a winter garden. Lots of glass, lots of light, and a kitchen that can do surprisingly much.
A whole wall as storage, integrated so elegantly that you hardly notice it at first. Everything appears calm, tidy, and well thought out. The walnut floor brings warmth into the room and connects the kitchen and dining area into a large, open living space. Cooking professionally on a gas stove, you won’t be second to star chefs here.
This is probably where most of everyday life takes place; the room merges with the garden. Breakfast in the morning light, long dinners with friends, or just a glass of wine while the evening slowly comes over the garden.
The garden is just two steps away. The large doors open onto the terrace, and you are outside. The garden is not huge but just right – and because the neighboring gardens are similarly green, a lovely feeling arises as if you are part of a small garden landscape.
The pool right in front, along with a raised bed and an incredible kiwi tree that is surprisingly generous with its fruits. The vitamins could not be fresher, and you can enjoy them every day in summer with your family.
Back inside, passing by a small but stylish bathroom with shower and WC. The old stone staircase leads upstairs, and the villa remains true to its character there as well.
On the upper floor, there are three rooms of different sizes – small, medium, and large. The largest has a small balcony and a view that takes your breath away each time: directly overlooking the Klosterneuburg Abbey, one of the most impressive motifs of the city, especially when illuminated at night. The two smaller rooms are opposite, one facing the street, the other quietly towards the garden.
There’s also a modern bathroom with shower and WC upstairs, along with a small walk-in closet that is surprisingly practical.
And of course, such a house also has a cellar. Old, a bit rough, two rooms – just as old cellars are. Perfect for storing everything you don’t want to see all the time in your everyday life.
The location could hardly be better for many: quiet, green, surrounded by the beautiful old villas of Klosterneuburg, yet surprisingly quick to Vienna. Kindergarten, schools, shopping opportunities, and public transport are all comfortably close.
The villa has about 138 m² of living space and is available for immediate rent.
